Jason Wingo, 34, was charged with numerous counts of burglary, destruction of property and theft in a series of incidents that police said began last month.

Police said someone broke into the River Hill Garden Center on Aug. 29, stealing cash and tools from a safe. The business owner told investigators there was also an unreported burglary Aug. 7, in which a 46-inch Samsung TV had been stolen.

Police said an investigation led authorities to Wingo, who had pawned the television on Aug. 9. Through the investigation, police said they also linked Wingo to three other cases.

On Sept. 3, cash was taken from the Red Mango restaurant on Daybreak Circle in Clarksville.

On Sept. 6, copper piping was stolen from Clarksville Elementary School. Police said detectives learned Wingo had sold assorted copper and brass a few days after the burglary.

On Wednesday, a Sony television was taken from the Linden-Linthicum United Methodist Church on Linden-Linthicum Lane in Clarksville. Police said that same TV was found in the back of Wingo's vehicle shortly before his arrest.

Wingo was arrested without incident and was being held at the Howard County Detention Center without bond.
